Bike / E-bike Tour : Downtown, Old Montreal, Waterfront by Fitz

About this activity

Our guided small-group rides are a fun, safe, and easy way to experience bike-friendly Montreal. This is a must-do for any visitor, an accessible way to take in the city's key landmarks while enjoying its urban nature along the way.

Expect photogenic scenes at every turn and real insight into Montreal's unique vibe, culture, and history. We'll set you up on a quality bike that's a genuine pleasure to ride, then lead you on a loop route along Montreal's impressive bike paths, quiet streets, and hidden laneways.

This is our most popular tour. You'll cruise through Old Montreal, the Old Port and Riverfront, Downtown, and the charming neighbourhoods of Le Plateau and Le Village. Your guide is one of our specially trained Montreal ambassadors, who'll gradually unravel the city's story, which plays a big part in Canada's own. Along the way, you'll pause at scenic break spots to take in the cityscape, natural views, architecture, outdoor art, and everyday neighbourhood life.

RAIN POLICY

We know you are here for just a couple of days, so the tour will run rain or shine and would only be cancelled in case we evaluate is not safe or fun to ride. Since the weather in Montreal changes very drastically and very often (we’re on a island!), if we have to cancel a tour, it will always be in person, at the meeting point and a couple of minutes before the departure (never in advance). So the rule is: even if it rains, come to the meeting point on time. There’s a high chance that your tour will happen!

BOTA BOTA SPA DISCOUNT

Our guests are be offered a special price at Bota Bota, a high end floating spa in the Old Port area (CAD $65 instead of $85). Let us know if you are interested and we'll help you with the booking. Absolutely recommended!
